The Repulse is an Excelsior-class starship in the UFP Starfleet. She is designed as a general purpose vessel; for exploration, patrol, search and rescue, combat, diplomatic and other missions as required. The lead vessel of this type, the U.S.S. Excelsior (originally NX-2000) was the testbed for the Transwarp Drive fiasco. Despite this, the type proved most adaptable and capable when fitted with conventional Warp drive, and the refitted Excelsior was the first ship to observe the fatal detonation of the Klinzhai moon Praxis while on a mapping mission under Captain Hikaru Sulu. The Repulse is a later Excelsior-class starship, and has been extensively refitted over time to incorporate technological advances and doctrinal and design modifications.
